Default Quick Suspension Question [newbie]

Hey fellas,
Well, this is my second time posting. I posted about a month ago about my honda not starting and you helped alot and it's up and running now. :-D Anywho, I've ran into another snag. I've pour some serious money into making this a show car, I finally get it on the road and as I'm driving it and a friend is following, he said the rear passenger side tire wobbles. Not a great deal but enough thats its noticable and makes me quite concerned.
I went out and bought Neuspeed Coilovers and Shocks. I don't wanna go and put them in if something is wrong with the rear suspension.
Have any of you had a similiar problem? I took the tire off and put it back on, makign sure the lug nugs were even and on right. But I don't know much about struts, cross member bars or anything? Could it be one of those things? Any help would be appreicated.
Andrew

after you made sure the lugs were back on tight, did you have your friend follow you and check to see if it was still wobbling?

it could be several factors..
-did you check your tire? it might have a blister on it..
-tire might need rebalancing..
-if you hit a curb, your wheel might be bent..
-your wheel bearing might need replacing (but you can listen for humming also if that's the case)..

that's all i can think of currently...

I would recheck the lugs make sure they are tight.
Your axle might be bent.
Your wheel might be bent.

Its not a huge problem, just needs fixin

Had the same problem and checked my lugs and everything and everything was fine. Then I checked my lugs again about a week later because the wheel was still wobbling and two of the studs just broke right off. Weird, but take the tire off and yank around on your wheel studs making sure they are nice and tights and no cracks or anything on them.
